Is their God really as weak and useless as the Bible makes (s)he/it out to be or did the awesome power and beauty get lost in translation?

And then I would write a novel on my spiritual path and how much I learned? The end of the book would imply that I have learned the secrets of the universe but I have a sudden death so everything was a waste of time?

I was giving serious thought to the U.S.national issue of obesity and I realized we have never considered an effort to increase the size, density and volume of the everyday objects surrounding us.
This would provide the obese among us with an opportunity to fit in and feel comfortable.

This is not a question about the idea of "bible codes" in general ...

I am soliciting opinions about the so-called codes listed at this particular website:

http://www.exodus2006.com/3code.htm

Here you'll find everything from "Bush is the beast 666!" and "USA is Babylon 666" to a prediction that Laura Bush will be murdered some night in 2010 and "August 4 2006 - Day of the Sign".

Personally I give zero credence to this bible code business, but at the same time it's not without a certain kind of 'Rorschach inkblot' weirdness that's sort of amusing...

In days gone by, parents were generally dumber than they are today. Of course it’s against the law in many countries for parents to beat or hit their children. Today children can take their parents to court and sue them for damages, children can even divorce their parents if they wish.

Fortunately, today children are not as dumb as their parents, and in the years to come, hopefully parents will not be as dumb as they are today.

It’s a fact that many children have no choice when it comes to religion. They are forced to take Bible studies at school and/or forced to follow their parents religion through teachings at home. The resultant emotional and traumatic damage to the child’s mind can have lifelong damaging consequences.

Should children (and adults) be allowed to take their school and/or parents to court and sue them for having to undergo religious teachings?

I know that the Shakers believe this and I think it is an interesting idea, but I can't seem to find anything that could lead to this conclusion. Is the belief based on other outside sources?

You make the claim that there is a god and that you follow him. That is an extraordinary claim. So, making such, you must provide extraordinary proof.
Have any of you done so? No. Have any of you provided as much as a single shred of credible evidence, since you lack any such proof? No.

Oh and before any of you say something as stupid as "but...but.. you can't prove god DOESN'T exist..." Let me educate you before you begin.
The burden of proof rests upon the person that proposes the idea. Not on the listener. For example; say I were to tell you that I have in my backyard, a magic Marmot that eats only diamonds and plops out solid gold roses. Would you believe me? That's an extraordinary claim and it demands extraordinary proof. Even a solid gold rose is NOT proof that it came from the Magic Marmot is it? I could have had it made someplace.
So the burden of proof is on ME to show you the Magic Marmot and to show him eating diamonds and plopping out the roses.
So? Where is your proof?

All the evidence supports them. Don't they realise how stupid they sound when they say it, it's like saying "I don't believe in air" It's staring you right in the face just remove the blindness that religion causes and see for your self. Use a bit of logic for once in your life. Say no to jesus http://www.saynotojesus.tk

Or do you just pretend you didn't notice?

Anybody ever had Preacher answer a spirituality question you asked?....I have and he has absolutely no idea who I am or why I asked what I did. He answered a completely ridiculous answer out of complete ignorance. He offends people with the way he talks. How did he get that way? Does any one know what the he** is wrong with him? He must have had a really traumatic childhood or something... Preacher your behavior is not Christian! How did you get so darn mean?
